Hexagonal Prism Net

Before learning how to draw hexagonal prism net first lets learn what is a prism?
A solid object that has two identical ends and all flat sides and the cross section is the same all along its length.
and also remember that prism has rectangular faces.
Net is a 2 dimensional pattern of 3 dimensional figure.

I like to share this Hexagonal Prism with you all through my article.

Hexagon is a polygon which has six sides.
Hence the hexagonal prism net also have rectangular  and hexagonal faces.
 A hexagonal prism net is a polyhedron for which the top and bottom faces (known as the bases) are congruent hexagons, and all other faces (known as the lateral faces) are rectangles.

shape of an hexagonal prism net.
Lets look at the shape of an hexagonal prism net.


We can see that the given image has two hexagonal bases parallel to each other bounded by 6 rectangular faces.

Hexagonal prism net image

Similarly the image given below represents the hexagonal prism net as it have two hexagonal faces and six rectangular faces.



so when we fold the given hexagonal prism net it takes the shape of a hexagonal prism for which the top and bottom faces (known as the bases) are congruent hexagons, and all other faces (known as the lateral faces) are rectangles.

In geometry, the hexagonal prism is a prism with hexagonal base.

Since it has eight sides, it is an octahedron. However, the term octahedron is primarily used to refer to the regular octahedron, which has eight triangular faces.

I am planning to write more post on Mean Median Mode Definition, full form of icse. Keep checking my blog.

If faces are all regular, the hexagonal prism is a semiregular polyhedron.

 An hexagonal prism has eight faces
Vertex is a point where two edges of a polygon meet hence hexagonal prism has twelve verteces.
Edge is the meeting line of two faces in a 3 dimensional figures hence hexagonal prism has 18 edges.
